Jesper Wallstedt is exactly the kind of goaltender you keep and build around, not the kind you move for a short-term fix, and the Minnesota Wild are in a rare position where having two legitimate starters could be the backbone of a deep playoff run. The Minnesota Wild didn’t draft Wallstedt to...
Earlier this month, Chicago Bulls team president Arturas Karnisovas was apparently poised to make his squad the Eastern Conference’s “biggest sellers” at this season’s Feb. 5 trade deadline. This week, the Bulls are… going to be buyers? This is the kind of overreaction that one can expect out of the least competent current front office leader this side of maybe Kings GM Scott Perry, who apparently has been inspired by Chicago’s recent four-game win streak to jettison assets and equity in ...
Another day, another game! Fresh off of a disappointing OT loss in Manhattan on Monday night, the Bruins return to a frozen Boston to host the Nashville Predators at TD Garden. Points are at a premium, so here’s to hoping for a bounce-back effort tonight. There’s a ton of other Atlantic Division action going on […]

Bryan Rust has been suspended by the NHL for three games over a check to the head of Vancouver’s Brock Boeser. The video states: During net-front scramble at the Penguins’ goal, Boeser looks to collect the puck as Rust skates in from the slot. As Boeser finds the puck and attempts to play it towards […]
The New York Yankees have claimed pitcher Dom Hamel on waivers from the Texas Rangers, it was announced today. The Rangers had designated Hamel for assignment to make room on the 40 man roster for newly signed reliever Jakob Junis. If you aren’t familiar with Dom Hamel, that’s understandable. The Rangers claimed him on waivers […]
Ahead of Tuesday’s game, Craig Berube discussed the 50th anniversary of Darryl Sittler’s 10-point game, starting Joseph Woll, and the challenge against the Buffalo Sabres. Darryl Sittler and Tiger Williams both spoke with you and the team today. Knowing your playing-day tendencies, was Tiger the more thrilling experience for you? Berube: Haha, no, it was […] The post Craig Berube on the lessons the current Leafs can take away from Darryl Sittler’s address: “The pride of the Leafs, what is ex...
At the beginning of the NHL season, the hockey world looks at the teams destined to be bad and starts watching the big names who might be moved later. For Minnesota Wild fans desperate to see their team land a center, the speculation seemed to focus on Dylan Larkin and Tage Thompson. The proble...
With Flyers coach Rick Tocchet critcizing him last night, and in a bit of a funk offensively, has winger Trevor Zegras hit the wall this season? And if so, why?
It was a three-game week for the Bakersfield Condors and some Edmonton Oilers prospects, and they came out with one win. That hasn’t happened much lately as the back-to-back losses are the first losing streak for the Condors since the calendar changed to 2026. Before the back-to-back losses, the Condors were on a 10-game point…
1. I’ll admit, I’ve repeatedly cast side-eye at the Seattle Seahawks’ chances of winning it all because I simply couldn’t get behind trusting Sam Darnold, despite his come-up from his early days with the New York Jets. His mid-season spluttering seemed to justify that skepticism, and thrashing a beat-up 49ers defense in the Divisional Round […]
Getting you set up for tonight’s Jets game.
Last year, many believed the Detroit Lions were going to promote internally when offensive coordinator Ben Johnson left to become the Chicago Bears’ head coach. Among the internal names most likely to take that job was then pass game coordinator Tanner Engstrand. The Lions obviously opted to go elsewhere, and Engstrand ended up following Aaron […]
Even before trading MacKenzie Gore to the Texas Rangers in exchange for 5 prospects, the Nationals’ rotation was looking very subpar entering 2026. Following Gore’s departure, the unit now projects to be 29th in fWAR this season, according to Fangraphs, finishing ahead of only the Colorado Rockies, not great company when talking about pitching. Foster […]
The Jets are officially looking for a new offensive coordinator. Tanner Engstrand will not return for a second season with the team per Adam Schefter. Multiple reports in recent days suggested that the Jets were likely to strip Engstrand of his play calling duties. That led to an obvious question. What was the point of […]
The Philadelphia Flyers are coming off one of their most disappointing efforts of the season. After a big 7-3 win in Colorado against the best team in the league, they were shut out and failed to generate many scoring chances as they returned home against the Islanders on Monday night. Not many Flyers players stuck out in a positive way, but Matvei Michkov did look like himself again and was moved up to the top line in the third period. That was just a temporary measure, though, based on ...
The Hawks are up north this evening for a Central Division matchup against the Minnesota Wild. Minnesota’s been one of the league’s biggest surprises through the first half-ish of the season, sitting fifth in the league standings with 68 points in 53 games (29-14-10). The Wild surged in late 2025 with seven-game winning streaks in both November and December that would’ve sent them to the top of the division were it not for the absurd pace being maintained by the league-leading Avalanche. ...
